We had an unforgettable experience on the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest E-Biking Tour, and our guide, Michael, made it truly exceptional. From start to finish, he was incredibly knowledgeable, providing rich historical context for every stop we made. His storytelling brought the culture and history of the area to life, making the tour both educational and deeply engaging.
One of the highlights was how thoughtfully Michael captured stunning photos of us in the bamboo forest—he somehow made it look like we were the only two people there! He was also very attentive to our biking pace and safety, which helped us feel completely at ease and well taken care of throughout the journey.
To top it all off, the tour ended at a charming little ice cream shop nestled in gorgeous surroundings—a sweet and scenic treat that was the perfect conclusion to a fantastic day.
We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kyoto. It’s the perfect mix of nature, culture, and personalized care. Thank you, Michael!
